Coastal Trevally, locally known as Pattal (پتل) and scientifically named Carangoides coeruleopinnatus, is a sleek, flat-bodied marine fish harvested along the southern coastline of the Arabian Sea. Belonging to the esteemed Trevally family, Pattal is appreciated for its mild flavor, tender white flesh, and high edible meat yield. Sourced directly from Karachi Fish Harbour, Jojo Seafood brings harbour-fresh Pattal straight to your doorstep.

Taste & Texture
Pattal features a light, clean, and mildly sweet flavor profile paired with soft, tender white meat. Less oily than larger jack species, its delicate flesh holds together remarkably well during cooking, readily absorbing light herbs, citrus marinades, or traditional desi spices.
